Dozens of bodies found in unrefrigerated U-Haul trucks outside NYC funeral home

A funeral home in New York City overwhelmed by the coronavirus pandemic resorted to storing dozens of bodies in unrefrigerated rented U-Haul trucks outside, police said Wednesday.

The NYPD was called to the neighborhood after a passerby complained about the smell outside the Andrew T. Cleckley Funeral Home in the Flatlands neighborhood of Brooklyn.


Police found the home had rented four trucks which were holding about 50 corpses. Some bodies were also found lying on the facility’s floor, according to the New York Post, citing law enforcement sources.


No criminal charges were brought, according to an official speaking to the Associated Press, but the funeral home was cited for failing to control the odors.


People in protective gear could later be seen transferring bodies into a larger, refrigerated truck after the funeral home was able to obtain one.

How awful for their loved ones. I would think prosecution for abusing a corpse isn’t impossible, depending on whether they had any other options. It may be they did not.

What a shame to treat anyone like that. With so much as one overflow, they should have instantly called for help, no matter who, other funeral homes and even the state for assistance.
